A first look at the new ‘High Maintenance,’ which debuts on HBO this fall

When “High Maintenance” was on Vimeo – and before that, when it released episodes independently – its no-nonsense, absurdist stories about a weed dealer in New York City and his nutty, pot-purchasing clients unfolded quickly, in episodes that lasted no more than eight or 12 minutes, depending on the week.

The half-hour comedy series “High Maintenance” follows a Brooklyn pot dealer who delivers to clients with neuroses as diverse as the city.

On HBO, “High Maintenance” is considered a half-hour comedy series – but there will only be six episodes, keeping with creators Ben Sinclair (who stars as The Guy) and Katja Blichfeld’s ethos of small doses, high quality.
